Aloha folks time for the grow tally. Quick recap:I grew two a x t from Mephisto Genetics and a BlackBerry Kush from DP. The plants were grown in 5 gallon buckets each connected to a 5 gallon bucket resivour. I use an air stone and a submirsable pump supplying water to a drip ring with oxygen rich water to the roots. The water is reverse osmosis filtered and is infused with an sensi grow/bloom, voodoo juice, carboload, big bud, overdrive, and sensyzin. I also used recharge, cal/mag, silica blast, and hydroguard. One of the a x t was grown under a mars hydro 192 x 5w and grew HUGE while the other two plants were grown under a 192 x 3w and were notably smaller in size and production. I used a 12 hr on, 5.5 hr off, 1 hr on, and 5.5 hr off light schedule also known as the gas lantern routine or glr. I also started a Mephisto Genetics Deep Blue C in another tent with the same hydro setup and the same water/nutes combination. Lighting was provided by two 144 x 5w mars hydro fixtures on 24/7 as a very informal comparison. The a x t under the 192 x 5w grew so large I couldn't raise the light high enough away from the plant. As a result, the top of the cola was buttery yellow in hue, unfortunately the stress caused an opening for bud rot and I had to chop off the whole cola, that was a very bad day. I also found bud rot in the other a x t so I chopped at day 74, here's the take:
A x T number one : 178 g dry
A x T number two : 80 g dry
BlackBerry Kush : 35 g dry
Deep Blue C : 175 g dry
I will post smoke reports in the Mephisto section except for the blackberry kush of course. Thay are all exellent smoke that is for sure.This has been an exellent grow and I learned a lot. I want to thank The Vault for the free seeds and t-shirt and setting up this comparative grow off. If you haven't tried the vault for your genetics, you don't know what you are missing great selection and prices plus FREE SHIPPING!
